Folic Acid (Vitamin B9), 1 mg 50 capsules
- Helps maintain energy level*
- Supports brain function*
- Promotes healthy formation of genetic material*
Folic Acid is a form of Vitamin B9 and is part of the vitamin B complex. All of the B complex vitamins help to convert food, primarily carbohydrates, into fuel for the body in the form of glucose, which the body will use for energy production. Vitamin B9 also plays key roles in maintaining the nervous system and new cell formation.
Folate is also a form of Vitamin B9. While folate occurs naturally in foods, folic acid is a synthetic form of B9 found in supplements and fortified foods.
Folic acid is an important nutrient in terms of brain function and mental health throughout the lifecycle, but especially during phases of rapid growth such as pregnancy, infancy, and adolescence when the production of genetic material is heightened. Folic acid requirements increase during pregnancy to lower the developing fetus’s risk of neural tube defects.*
Vitamin B9 works with vitamin B12 in the production of red blood cells and to ensure that iron functions properly. Folic acid, B6, and B12 work together to control the body’s levels of homocysteine, an amino acid associated with arterial hardening and thickening.*

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the capsule size?
A: Capsule size 4.
Q: What type of capsule does this product come in?
A: This comes in a gelatin capsule. The gelatin is derived from bovine hide (beef skin).
Q: Why does this product contain rice flour?
A: We use rice flour as a filling agent for some products whose active ingredients do not fill the entire capsule. Leaving the capsule unfilled is not aesthetically pleasing and would cause many complaints.
Q: What is the difference between folic acid and folate?
A: Folic acid is the synthetic form of vitamin B9 found in some supplements and fortified foods. Folate is the form of B9 that occurs naturally in foods. The body processes folic acid and folate differently, and some individuals have a tough time processing folic acid to the point that at which the vitamin can be used.

Guaranteed Authenticity: Every batch of Folic Acid is carefully sourced and undergoes rigorous testing for ID, purity, potency, and microbiology before, during, and after manufacturing.
Just Pure Ingredients: At Dr. Clark Store, we stand against adulteration. Our rigorous testing reveals that an estimated 30% of bulk supplement powders in the U.S. market contain added fillers and/or come from incorrect species or plant parts. Unlike importers who operate according to FDA 21 CFR 117 and often rely on analyses done by the manufacturer abroad, we conduct thorough tests on all incoming materials in our full-size laboratory, guaranteeing the integrity of our products.
Carrageenan and Surfactant-Free Capsules: FDA regulation 21 CFR 101.100(a)(3)(ii) allows manufacturers to avoid disclosing ingredients in food if present at “insignificant” levels. This is why "Veggie Capsules" may contain carrageenan. Dr. Clark Store ensures the use of only the finest BSE-free gelatin capsules, free from carrageenan, surfactants, and prion risks. Our dedication to purity dates back over 30 years, ensuring safety and quality in line with Dr. Hulda Clark's original vision.
No Magnesium Stearate and No Hidden Processing Aids: True to Dr. Clark's vision, we never use magnesium stearate or any toxic processing aids in our products. Our commitment to transparency means all ingredients are clearly declared on the label, offering you peace of mind and a product you can trust. Again because of FDA’s lacking regulation 21 CFR 101, many brands contain magnesium stearate without it being declared on the label.
Verifiable GMP Certification: Trust is earned, not given. That's why we back up our GMP certification claims with verifiable evidence. Partnering with VeriGMP®, a UL-certified company, we adhere to strict GMP quality systems, ensuring that each product meets the highest standards of manufacturing and quality assurance.
